Google Tips & Tricks

Google Keep

Force a Copy

Here's a handy shortcut to set viewing options in a google doc. At the end of the URL of the doc, add the words "copy" or "view" or "edit" and the sharing settings automatically change. For example, to force someone to make a copy of your doc, add "copy" to the end of the URL.

Annotate a YouTube video

You can pause and interrupt a YouTube video any time to give students some focus questions or thinking points. This is great for at-home viewing. Flip the class by asking students to view the video and prepare some thoughts for discussion the next day.
